<C,ld baths train the %cutaneous vessels
to contract and thus lessen the loss of
heat when the body is suddenly ex-
posed to cold; so, persons who have
thus "hardencd" themselves are less
liable to stake coid," but are also able
TO endure greater degrees of cold than
are those who have not so trained their

between breakfast and dinner, when the

to rouse to that reaction which has to
be insisted upon as a sine qua non, if
the bath be not absolutely hurtful.
The popular idea that the water should

else should lie taken just previously, is

Only the Patm of Hunger Fatal.

/ l@L-
Henry Howard explains, in an article
on casters and Fasting in the Cosno-
poiitan, that it IS not hunger itself, but
the pain of hunger, hat kills starving
people:
What is hungera 1t is not the result
OF a local condition, but a sensation that
is only an expression of the general state
OF the organism, since it may be satisfied
without introducing food into the
stomach, as is proved by the injection
OF nutritive substances into the veins;
and Schif has demonstrated the same
fact as regards thirst. Ga the other
hand, a very small quantity of food in
troduced into the stomach of a person
succumbing to starvation, and still sus
ceptible of the pangs of hunger, will
cause these pangs to cease Immediately,
even before any absorption has had time
to take place; and consequently before
there has been any possibility of assimi-
lation. This proves. Furthermore. that
hunger is a reflex sen ,ation of which the
stomach is the point of departure.
1t is the pain of hunger that kills
quickly, and not hunger itself. 1t is
certain that a man in good physical
health may live a long time without
eating or drinking, if he does not suffer
too much from the pangs of hunger.
The history of the miners ofeBois-
Mouzl as related by Soyiche, is a proof
of this. Eight miners were shut up in
a coal-mine one hundred and thirty-six
hours. The first day they divided
among them a half pound Of bread and
two glasses of wine, which one of them
had brought with him. That was all
the food they partook of during their
imprisonment. It would generally be
believed that these eight unlucky miners
must have felt the pangs of hunger in
their most frightful form at the moment
when the drill penetrated the gallery of
mine; but according to their as
sertion this long abstinence had occa-
stoned them little Inconvenience.

PUBLIC ORDER.

We propose to speak more especially with
reference to its bearing on public places OF
entertainment As our city is rapidly grew
ing in size, and as we all fondly hope it will
continue to be the leading city of Kansas,
the subject of this article is one of import
auce and deman is attention We are no
longer frontier town and must compete
with other cities not only in trade and en-
teTprise but N polish and refinement. Cur
public officers must remember that the pis-
tol. knife and fist are fast becoming things
of the past and q more arduous and enlight-
ened duty is devolving upon them and they
must prove themselves equal to the emer-
gency Our people must remember that
much more is expected Of them than from
bachwoodsnen, and that it is their duty not
only to cultivate themselves but to assist the
officers of their choice by example and Civ
ing their moral support to all well ordered
institutions. All must advance with the
times, and we know our people are made OF
the right stuff and that their pride viii not
allow them to be hindermost in polish and
refinement or aught else.
The end to be gained is apparent to all,
and we believe it perfectly safe TO rely upon
the sagacity OF the public as regards ways
and means.
We only propose to handle the subject
generally at the moment and trust that the
spirit of our remarks viii be understood and
if hat we have said causes e moments
